The word protein is derived from the Greek and means “of first importance”. Why? Seventy-five percent of the body's tissues are made from protein. When you eat protein, the body breaks it down in the stomach into amino acids which are later recombined to form body protein. The quality of a protein supplement is measured by its Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER). The PER shows the ratio between the eight essential amino acids which the body cannot make on its own but must obtain from food. Egg protein has the highest PER (100) and is the standard against which other proteins are measured.

Super Protein contains soy protein fortified with the amino acid l-methionine and protein-digesting enzymes from papaya and pineapple. It is a vegetarian protein powder with a PER of almost 100 even when you mix it with juice.

The body can assimilate free-form amino acids without digestion. This amino-acid complex is a mixture of 21 high-quality, 100% pure amino acids. It is available both as a sublingual powder (many of the amino acids will assimilate directly from the mouth when you place some powder under the tongue) or as capsules.

When you use a single amino acid is to eat it on an empty stomach. If the amino acid mixes with food protein in the digestive tract, the body assimilates it as part of the protein. But if you take the amino acid with no other food, the body can absorb it singly and it can have its desired effect. Note: Don't wash down the capsules with milk (which is rich in protein) but instead use juice or water.
